The win came after Leipzig's midweek loss to Real Madrid, with Martin Demichelis making eight wholesale changes. The team boasted fresh legs, with Antonio Nusa making impactful plays.
The match started with Elversberg threatening first, but Leipzig gradually took control. Antonio Nusa's dribbling skills were instrumental in Leipzig's attack, setting up Tidiam Gomis' goal and providing a searching ball for Rômulo's first goal. Christoph Baumgartner's header from a Brajan Gruda cross marked his long-awaited return to form after missing the 2026 World Cup due to injury.
Rômulo sealed the win with a brace, his second goal assisted by Abdul Kone's backheel. The second half was more eventful than the first, with Leipzig's goals coming after the break. Jan Gyamerah went off with a suspected muscle injury, and Luca Sirch took his place, but Elversberg couldn't capitalize on their chances.

Source context
RB Leipzig showed the necessary class and quality to brush SV Elversberg aside on a 4-0 scoreline this afternoon. Martin Demichelis' side boasted eight wholesale changes from their last outing, but Tidiam Gomis, Christoph Baumgartner and Rômulo struck for victory. With a vastly rotated team after their midweek loss to Real Madrid, Leipzig naturally made an slow start on home soil. Elversberg were first to threaten when Lasse Günther's cross picked out Maurice Krattenmacher, but Willi Orban positioned himself well to make a block. Following another decent chance for the Saarland club – this time Krattenmacher off target from a Lukas Petkov ball – Leipzig started to threaten. Antonio Nusa attacked the left wing, weaved his way inside and curled a peach of a shot just past the far post.
